      When your Sony Home Theater System receiver is in standby mode and there is no image output from the TV: * Images are from the last HDMI equipment selection before you turned off the receiver. * Make sure “PASS.THRU” is set to “ON”. * Try pressing the input button on the remote control or turning INPUT SELECTOR on the receiver to select the equipment of your choice. * When you want to listen to the sound from the TV speaker, set the “AUDIO.OUT” to “TV+AMP” in the HDMI menu. * Sound may be interrupted when the equipment not compatible with the “BRAVIA” Sync is connected to the receiver.
